We are proud to announce the release of Chapter 3! You’ll find a lot of added content and a new Arkatron (Caromble!’s special power-ups): The Cannon!
We’ve also added a prologue level:
And a time-trial skill level ‘Race’:
The time it took us to come to this major update was longer than we hoped. We really didn't sit still in all this time and have added, improved and fixed a lot. In retrospect we have fixed too much for a single update. In the future we will consider doing more updates and not only when we have finished a full chapter of content. Let us know what you think of this.
A selection of everything new in this update can be found in the release notes below.
We’re eager to hear your feedback so we can make Caromble! the brick-breaker you’ve always dreamed of!
